The Lycan King's Fate Calling (Shawn Gibson and Sylvia) novel Chapter 409

Sylvia's POV:

Olivia was my mother's name. Ever since she had passed away, I'd rarely heard her name being mentioned.

I looked up at this man in surprise.

The man looked to be in his forties. He was well maintained and elegant. It was obvious that he was an eminent personality.

He stared at me in shock. It sounded like he had mistaken me for my mother.

It wasn't his fault. I did look a lot like her when she was young. Was he a friend of hers?

"Did you know my mother?" I asked him.

His expression became more peculiar. He watched me and was lost in thought for a long time.

Rufus pulled me behind him and asked in an annoyed voice, "Are you here for Leonard?"

The man snapped back to his senses and nodded. "Yes, I'm here for Alpha Leonard."

His voice was low, and he liked to speak softly.

I blinked and my gaze bounced between the two of them. "Do you know each other?"

"He's one of Leonard's people. I've seen him before," Rufus replied lightly.

This stoked my curiosity further. "How did you know my mother?"

The man had regained his composure and answered me mildly, "When I was young, I had a chance to fight a battle with an alliance of other packs. I had met your mother there, but we weren't actually acquainted with each other."

I scratched my head. He remembered my mother even after so many years though he had only seen her once. Was he a secret admirer of hers?

"Sylvia, let me introduce him to you." Suddenly, Leonard turned to look at me and pointed at Edwin. "This is my good friend who grew up with me. He is also an elder who is responsible for all the internal affairs of our pack. In the following month, he will supervise your training with me... oh, and Owen, too."

A huge pressure instantly settled over me. It was difficult enough to deal with Leonard alone, and now two more people had joined him.

I gave Rufus a pitiful look, wanting him to save me.

Rufus curled his fingers into a fist, brought it to his mouth, and coughed, as if he was covering up a laugh. "This is a good thing. It will yield better results this way."

"Yes. I wanted Rufus to supervise you too. But Rufus is too tender towards you. All you have to do is give him a forlorn look and his heart will melt."

Leonard's words made me blush. I didn't dare meet Rufus' eyes anymore.

Recalling the last time Rufus had trained me, I couldn't help complaining inwardly, 'Rufus is not soft-hearted when he trains me. He is just as strict and fierce as you are.'

Then Leonard glanced at Edwin and asked inquisitively, "What were you talking about with Sylvia just now? I thought you knew each other."
